The man in black robe laughed heartily. Meeting a few living people today really solved his urgent problem.
Zhou Xing and Ke Yunqin were pinched by the ghost claws and fell unconscious. The man in black robe looked at the two people collapsed on the ground. Both of them were frightened to the point of incontinence. They were also frightened to faint while being surrounded by ghosts, but he did not show any disgust.
"Haha, at least she's got delicate skin and tender flesh!"
The man in black robe was very satisfied with the four people and was about to take them away.
"Sir, these people were eating in my restaurant. We found them first. Please leave some for us. Can you leave the two on the ground for us? You can't just take all..."
The restaurant owner couldn't help but try to fight for it, but before he could say anything, he was glared at by the black-robed man with dim eyes.
"You dare to fight with me? Be careful or you'll lose your soul!"
After saying this, the man in black robe did not engage in any more unnecessary verbal arguments, nor did he take action to teach the surrounding ghosts a lesson. He simply stretched out his two arms like a spirit snake, wrapped them around the four people and tied them up, then dragged them out of the restaurant and walked away.
Inside the restaurant, everyone from the shopkeeper to the waiters to the other diners could only watch helplessly, with extremely hideous and terrifying expressions on their faces.
Seeing the man in black robe leading his people away without any scruples, the restaurant owner's anger could no longer be suppressed and he suddenly turned into an evil ghost with a green face and fangs.
"Even if you are the Black Order Envoy, you can't be so arrogant, right?"
The echo of the ghost's roar shook the cups and plates in the inn. The black-robed man on the street outside turned around and looked at the group of ghosts in the inn with a sneer.
"Okay, I'll give you a chance, come out and grab it."
Many ghosts in the inn looked dead, staring at the black-robed man on the street with grim eyes. In this ghost town that they could only enter but not leave, the temptation of four living people was too great.
The man in black robe waited with a cold look in his eyes and threw four unconscious people to the street. But after a few breaths, the ghosts in the inn still did not rush out, because the man in black robe lifted up his robe, revealing a special black soul-catching rope wrapped around his waist.
"Humph, a bunch of losers dare to make noise."
After a cold snort, the man in black grabbed two people in each hand, lifted up the four of them, and turned into a ghostly shadow and disappeared into the street.
The ghosts in the inn were furious, and the innkeeper was roaring with his face turned green and his hair and beard flying.
"Ah - the black order has made you go too far in bullying the devil!"
. . .
Somewhere in the ghost town, Ji Yuan, Niu Batian and Yan Fei were visiting an inn and were preparing to go to the next one. The two inns closest to the stable where they came out were the most likely places for the carriage owner to stay.
But at this moment, Ji Yuan suddenly heard some roars in response.
"Ah - Heiling has made you go too far... You have gone too far..."
The moment he heard this voice, ripples appeared in the mirror-like mind in his heart, and his steps paused. According to this thought, he stretched out his hand and pinched his fingers, and immediately frowned.
"Mr. Ji, what's wrong?"
"Go this way, they're in trouble!"
After saying this, Ji Yuan's feet moved quickly, and he turned and walked quickly to another place, while Niu Batian and Yan Fei followed quickly.
This ghost town is much larger than expected, far from comparable to cities like Nandao County. There are countless old ghosts here, and there must be a lot of ghost cultivators lurking. Ji Yuan even feels that it is much more powerful than any underworld he has ever been to. It is like a holy place for ghost cultivation.
Therefore, even though he was accompanied by a bull demon with considerable cultivation, Ji Yuan did not dare to stand out too much here, let alone rashly use the flying technique.
In a one-on-one fight, Ji Yuan is not afraid of many immortals, demons, gods and monsters, but if the number exceeds the limit of what he can handle, it will be very dangerous for him.
When Ji Yuan and the other two arrived outside Tengyuan Tower, they saw a fierce and resentful atmosphere in the building while they were still on the street. The waiter in the inn was propping up an overturned table. In addition to some bowls and vegetable scraps, there were two small puddles of urine on the ground that gave off a slightly lewd smell.
"Mr. Ji, it seems like we are a step late?"
Niu Batian leaned close to Ji Yuan and whispered, the latter nodded but still walked towards the restaurant. His voice was heard inside before he even arrived.
"Yo... What happened here? Was there a fight?"
The shopkeeper has returned to normal, but he is still resentful. When he heard the voice outside the door, he responded in a cold voice.
"Master Black Order is so arrogant. Today, four stupid people came to the restaurant. We were the first to find them, but he took them away by force by relying on his power. He didn't even settle the bill for the four people's meal!"
The shopkeeper sighed as he said this, and then he composed himself and wanted to welcome the ghost with a smile.
"But if you want to eat, you can."
"Oh, there is such a thing. There are still living people here. This is rare. Did the Black Order rob people and intend to absorb the Yang Yuan himself?"
Ji Yuan went in with a surprised tone and chatted with the shopkeeper.
"Ah, it is indeed rare, but he didn't take it away for himself. Tonight is the occasion when the city lord has made great progress in his practice and is preparing a grand banquet. Envoy Black planned to give a few living people to the city lord first, but now I don't know where he has hidden them. Humph, it is precisely because of our respect for the city lord, otherwise we would have fought with Envoy Black and would never be afraid of him!"
The shopkeeper narrowed his eyes and a faint light appeared in them. After uttering a harsh word, he suddenly thought of something.
"Oh, by the way, the guest needs to eat, we... uh..."
The few guests who were talking to him just now have disappeared.
"Where are the people? When did you see them go out?"
Several shop assistants around shook their heads.
"I didn't notice it, it disappeared in the blink of an eye."
On the street, Ji Yuan and others naturally went to look for the so-called Black Order Envoy, but it was obvious that the so-called Black Order Envoy was afraid that others might have other intentions, so he did a very good job of hiding.
At least Ji Yuan's calculation skills are not enough to determine the exact location, and in this way, he is even less able to observe the possible location of the yang energy in the city.
'This is getting a little tricky!'
In the current situation, there are only two options. One is to turn the Ghost Town upside down and forcibly find the Black Order Envoy and a few unlucky guys; the other is to wait until the Ghost Town Lord's banquet and demand the people then.
The former is very embarrassing, and one careless move may make you the enemy of the entire ghost town. The latter is also very embarrassing, and one careless move may still make you the enemy of the entire ghost town.
Yan Fei is a mortal. Although he realizes that things are developing in a bad direction, he still does not fully understand it. Niu Batian, on the other hand, has realized the complexity of the current situation.
"Mr. Ji, what should we do? Why don't we just go crazy?"
Lao Niu now has a blind faith in Ji Yuan. He even feels that if Mr. Ji is willing, he can use his great magical powers to change the world and let the Tiangang Zhengyang directly sprinkle on the ghost city, and even cut off the foundation of the ghost city. Who would dare to provoke such a vicious person
"Who are you mad at? The whole ghost town? Do you think you, a barbarian, are the ones who are causing trouble?"
Ji Yuan asked back, and Niu Batian scratched his head.
"Although I am a little conceited, I still cannot handle the ghosts in this city because I don't know how deep they are. But with your ability, sir, I don't believe anyone in the ghost town can stop us!"
"You..."
Before Ji Yuan could finish the sentence "It's easy to talk without any pain in the waist", he suddenly saw a demonic aura rising from the direction of the city gate.
"Someone came to the door?"
Niu Batian said excitedly, but Ji Yuan shook his head in rebuttal.
"No, this demonic aura is strong but not aggressive. It seems to be just a means of showing off one's status. I remember the shopkeeper said there was some kind of celebration tonight. It might be a guest coming to attend the event!"
Ji Yuan and the other two were talking as they walked towards that direction, intending to see what kind of monster was coming.
Judging from the current situation, the guests' evil spirit is so strong that the lord of this ghost town is definitely not simple. This makes Ji Yuan more cautious.
A special vehicle surrounded by water vapor and covered with fish scales was driving slowly on the main road in the city. The vehicle was not pulled by a horse, but a four-legged aquatic monster. The water vapor sprayed from its nostrils also drifted to the rear, making the entire team of vehicles appear to be shrouded in smoke.
In addition to this large cart, the carriage team also had some followers in front and behind, some carrying weapons and some carrying boxes. All of them had a demonic aura, and it looked quite grand.
It is daytime now, and there are not many ghosts wandering around in the city. Many ghosts in the city originally wanted to get closer to take a look, but the strong evil spirit here forced them to not dare to get closer.
A handsome man and a handsome woman sat in the carriage. After entering the city, they also looked at the scene in the city through the pearl curtain on the side.
"I have to say, this Wuya Ghost City does have some secrets. I wonder how much the old ghost Wuya has improved after this breakthrough?"
"It's still a ghost!"
"You can't say that. It's true that the ghost body has defects, but even if..."
The man paused here.
"Even if what?"
The woman turned her head and looked at him strangely, and found that he was staring blankly at the front with his eyes wide open, and his line of sight moved as the carriage moved forward.
"parking!"
The man suddenly shouted, startling the woman next to him.
"Hurry up and get off the car with me! Get off the car with me! I didn't expect that old ghost Wu Ya could even invite him!"
The man grabbed the woman's hand in an impatient voice and pulled her out of the frame.
On one side outside the convoy, Niu Batian frowned and looked at the convoy not far away, then tilted his head and said to Ji Yuan.
"Mr. Ji, why did the car stop suddenly?"
As soon as Lao Niu finished speaking, he saw two men and women in brocade clothes getting off the carriage over there, trotting towards this side in a hurry. When they were about ten feet away from him, they bowed respectfully at ninety degrees and saluted in his direction.
"I am Gao Tianming from Tianshui Lake, and I am here with my wife Xia Qiu to meet Mr. Ji!"
Ji Yuan frowned and thought for a while, then a look of sudden realization appeared on his face, and he simply bowed as a return gesture.
"So you are Mr. Gao from Tianshui Lake. I remember you went to Dazhen Tongtian River to attend Lao Long's birthday party?"
"That's right! Mr. Ji, you actually still remember me. I am so honored! I dare not act rashly in front of you. You can just call me by my name. This is my wife, also a water creature, who has not yet transformed into a dragon!"
Niu Batian suddenly felt his scalp tingling, and Yan Fei beside him felt the same way.
"My goodness... who is Mr. Ji?"
